Pros

Wages, All major holidays off. That's it.

Cons

Where do I start. By no means I'm I writing a review to bash Aldi's. Aldi's could be a really good place to work for and more enjoyable. I quit a job that I had been at for 6 years because of the higher income. To this day I don't regret my decision because I fell like everything happens for a reason and because of the grace of God I'm in position I'm in now. Aldi's pays well but keeps staff low. That's causes a high level of stress and very unenjoyable work place. I was hired in as manager in trainee. From the beginning I had others that worked there who were jealous because they might have felt like they were more deserving. Many of times they would purposely not show me something or even let me struggle with something so that they run back to the store manager. It was a horrible experience as their expections were so unrealistic based on the staff that they had in each store. You will get injuried based on the amount of lifting and work that did to try to keep. It's just to much to keep going but working at Aldi's was the worst job that I have ever had!

Pros

the compensation and benefits are very good

Cons

the work is physically demanding 100% of the time; district management is inexperienced and stressed out much of the time; store staffing levels are minimal and district management is not proactive enough about keeping turnover from leaving the store staff short-handed

Flexible scheduling, great pay and awesome benefits! Store is closed on most major holidays (Christmas, Thanksgiving, 4th of July, etc)

Physically exhausting. Longer hours on weekends and during the holiday season (normal in the retail world)
